Poncho Please!

I've been crushing on ponchos and over-sized sweaters this season. Easy to wear and pair with leggings, denim or leather. Make sure to choose a bottom with a slim fit to balance out the top heavy silhouette. Since my poncho is muted, I like the leather detail around the collar. You can also add detail with a printed or fringed poncho.

Summer Shades

The summer days are drifting away and I'm feeling nautically inspired and pairing navy and white. Though, a disbeliever of the "no white after Labor Day" rule, I'm trying to get in all the white I can before the fall air arrives.

Safari Scarf

Today's casual look combines a khaki (yes, two outfits involving khaki in a row!) skirt with your standard stripe top. Mixing prints is a fashion favorite and adding a light weight scarf with wild safari elements amps up a basic look. Feeling the urge for color, I'm prancing around in green suede flats.

Plum Crazy

I find myself stuck in a rut and channeling deep hues during this polar vortex (well, for NC standards). To add attitude, I enlist the help of my geo-print overcoat over plum and keeping cozy with a faux fur infinity scarf.

Falling for Booties

What I'm currently finding irresistible for fall? The bootie! I'm loving the dress and bootie  winning combo for early fall's temps. Dress them up or down by pairing with a vibrantly colored dress or with your favorite jeans for weekend. I also look forward to making a statement in them with wax denim to give my fall style a little edge.

Chartreuse

Chartreuse is a perfect hue for fall. It is bold, yet muted appropriately for the season. I swoon over the neckline that is made up of multiple bands. It feels sophisticated with a splash of fun. I love the idea of mixing a print in with the leopard heels.

Casual Khaki

A khaki skirt is my timeless, in-a-hurry piece. It is easy to match and ideal for a morning that you can't get out the door! The ensemble is relaxed but functional for a work day. Today was a throw my hair in a bun and red-eye coffee kind of morning!
